Chapter 297 - Episode Forty-Four - The Great God Kudor (18)

Levis spear, which was not clothed in magic and had no acceleration, could not pierce Kudors body.

But instead, it doesnt have the impact to knock me off.

The height of me standing at the tip of the tail pointing vertically upward was almost the same as Kudors human body.

Just as well, I could see the God of Laws back clearly.

I kicked out the tail end of Levis spear.

I jumped onto Kudors back, who was stunned, not fully grasping the situation.

I grabbed his shoulder with my left hand and supported my own weight in a desperate attempt.

I slammed my foot into Kudor body with too much force. It hurt like hell.

I thought I had broken my knee plate. Maybe its bleeding.

But I got him! Summon!

The glow of the summoning crest leaked out from under my clothes.

I transfer the magic circle onto Kudors back.

A spirit beast is summoned to intervene between me and Kudor.

It is pale blue in color, with a vaguely distracted face, and looks like an octopus.

Almost devoid of intelligence, it entwines its tentacles around Kudors back and clings to him.

It was almost a miracle that things had worked out so well so far.

It was fortunate that I went on the offensive at the moment negotiations were concluded.

Its not fair, but on my back, I have myself, Meas life, and Peters last will.

Theres no reason to be delusional and dismissive of these inflated demons.

Why are you you! Why are you fighting against me? In the first place, this part that resembles a human is neither its real body nor its weakness! The current form was only adopted as a god to guide people!

I understand.

But if you let the mobile tentacles attach to you, they will destroy you without a moments pause.

The main body, the monocular, is very vigilant and will regenerate instantly regardless of whether it is destroyed, so it is not a waste, but the risk does not match the benefit.

As a result, I just decided to go for the humanoid form at the top, far higher up, where the natural vigilance is shaken on a larger scale.

You cant really expect to win a fight against me after seeing me like this! There is no reason for you to do this! There is no reason for you to believe in me.

I know that, too.

But the fact that Kudor, the one who initiated the negotiations, understands that I have no choice but to trust Kudor is itself a problem.

If Kudor has the means to crush the other party by deception at any time if things get dicey, and I have no choice but to go along with it in the end no matter how much I doubt it, then the odds are zero from the start.

That means that as long as I choose the seemingly logical answer, the lower-ranked player will never win.

I dont want to get on board with such a proposal.

Its certainly easy and tempting to be delusional and throw everything I have into the fight on Kudors word.

But if I take the easy way out and fail, I wont be able to repay Mea and Peter. If so, I want to take the one that I can do my best with, the one that I wont regret.

What kind of stupid spirit animal is this Mm? No, no way, this is ?

Rejoice, its your little brother!

Yes, this octopus spirit beast was made before I came here, out of curiosity, by copying the method of making artificial spirits from the Great Gods Treasure Book.

Although the scale is completely different, it is a collection of spirit bodies with a structural technique similar to that of Kudor.

One of the three major sins of alchemy, one of the contraindications of alchemy.

The first is the quest for immortality, the second is the creation of chimeras of B grade or higher with the ability to reproduce, and the last and greatest contraindication, the creation of artificial spirits.

Spirit Creation!

The magic circle unfolded at once.

Using Kudor as a base, I synthesized the octopus Icarus (named by me) and created a new artificial spirit.

The experience of creating an artificial spirit in the Great Gods Treasure Book came in handy.

With the wisdom and analysis of Zolomonia, I can understand the structure of the ancient absolute ruler, Kudor, to some extent.

Icarus, which has a similar structural formula, has an affinity with Kudor.

Theoretically, it should not be impossible to synthesize the two and use Icarus as a starting point to send out a magic wave to Kudors body and pull out some of the control of her body.

The Icarus that clung to Kudors human body melted and mingled with Kudor.

My fingers came off of Kudors shoulders. My body is thrown into the air from her back.

You, you! What a humiliation to me. Ugh!

The face of Icarus, which had been squashed and stuck to Kudors back, swelled rapidly.

M-Magic my magic power is!? S-Stop! This magic power is necessary to accomplish my mission Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! I am, I am! I am the God of Salvation, the God of Law, the God Kudor, who once saved the world from the hands of a high ranking demon, you know! T-This Ugh, guuuuh, ogooo, I feel Ahhhhhh, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Idiot! You quickly take this off, aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Her thought process is going haywire. But how long it would last was a gamble.

Ive succeeded in attaching myself to a part of Kudor, disrupting her thoughts and siphoning off her magic power, but I dont know how long I can hold out in this state.

We have to destroy any chance of a comeback. In order to do that, we need to create some confusion.

Im sorry, but theres no reason for me to do as you say now! If I wanted to do what you say, I would have done so earlier! Its not worth having a god weaker than me protect the world, and I cant even get it off in the first place!

Im going to kill you! Ill kill you!

You cant kill me! Youve been talking about useless things and acting like a saint, but now youve finally shown your true colors! I thought artificial spirits were just like that after all!

I should never have gotten involved with this idiot! Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Buried and swallowed by the swelling tumor-like Icarus, Kudors human body disappears from view.

The Icarus grimy face is the only thing that continues to suck up Kudors magical power.

At the top of the World Tree, an octopus bloomed, with an ugly smile stuck on its face.

Ha-, Hahahahaha! Ive done it, now !

My magical power and physical strength were nearly exhausted.

As I was free-falling, I suddenly got a headache and my vision went blurry.

The next thing I knew, my wand was gone from my hand.

Oh

Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ugh, Im going to beat you to death, aaahhhhhhhhhh!

One of the tentacles, moving painfully, fell towards me.

A dull thump went through my whole body, and my consciousness was cut off there.
